So I've tried looking to see if you said what fabric you used but can't find it. I think one is Lucy's crab shack, which is the other. I'm debating on the poppins bag or this one right now, it's such a hard choice!!

Love this bag! I'm making it with Dear Stella Piper in "Stripe in Multi" and "Purple Zig Zag". When making the straps, it says to topstitch them and then it is to be sewn down to the bag after the sliders go on. Do you mean for it to be sewn down right over the first top stitching or sew another seam?Thanks!

Just a note of caution if you are using "The Shore Bag" pattern. If you download the pattern and print it off be sure your printer prints the handle template full size. The template should measure 4" wide. I am in the process of making this bag and did not discover this until I was ready to attach handles and they were too narrow. Thankfully I had extra fabric so I could cut more. I'm assuming my printer did not print it full size....or is the template wrong??

I see that you have sold this pattern to McCall's. Congratulations to you. I WISH I had seen that prior to buying this one since I actually have the one from McCalls. So now I have a pattern and an extra pattern. This will be my next bag.

Welcome to my blog! Here we discuss all of the happenings in my little life, like designing bags and quilts, raising children, and even the impossible shoe shopping adventures I face as a little person. I have a wonderful husband, three super happy children, and a dog. When the laundry gets crazy and the dishes pile high, I find myself escaping to the sewing room. It doesn't make sense, but it works. So, stick around if you can and enjoy this crazy wonderful life of mine! :) You can find my fun designs in my shop (link above).
